Luke McEwen's debut collection of short stories reveals the passion, humour and anxiety in everyday life:

- Brighton hosts a modern take on the Greek myth of Medusa, revealing the consequences of living with injustice.
- A university student displays her natural gift as a listener, an essential skill to achieving her ambition as a counsellor.
- A small token of little monetary value takes on great symbolic importance when a daughter loses her mother.
- A middle aged business man tries to repair his marriage with the same techniques he uses in the boardroom.

“Heart-warming contemporary fiction with a quirky flavour. A great variety of interesting stories with some funny twists.”

“The writing is both beautiful and witty. I highly recommend this collection of stories for anyone who wants to be swept away by a great story teller.”

“The author truly understands his protagonists, and has a perfect grasp on human relationships and the essential ingredients needed for survival.”

Luke McEwen was born in Chichester, West Sussex, UK in 1964, the second son of Andrew and Anitra McEwen. His father was a journalist for the Daily Mail for twenty six years, finally ending that career as chief diplomatic correspondent to the Financial Times. Luke spent four years of his childhood in Freeport, New York, and eighteen months in Brussels, where he attended the Common Market School. He finally returned to his home town nine years later in 1973. Luke went to the University of East Anglia and studied Politics and Sociology. Just to avoid any confusion, he sadly did not attend the UEA’s famous writing course. But did attend Chichester College’s creative writing course led by Julia Homan. Luke continues to work and live in Chichester with his son. He is a keen potter and painter, tennis and saxophone player. He has a blog and writer’s website at www.lukemcewen.co.uk
